Glendalough's Park Partners |
About
Uploaded on Feb 8, 2012 Part Three in our series "Volunteers: Building A Better Tomorrow" focuses on the Park Partners, a volunteer organization that supports Minnesota's Glendalough State Park. The generous contributions of this group have enabled Glendalough to do projects that would otherwise be impossible because of budgetary constraints, and have significantly enhanced the relationship between Glendalough and the community of Battle Lake. Kristi Everts, a local resident, tells the history of the park and the Park Partners, and Jeff Wiersma, Park Manager, gratefully explains the relationship. |
